New (to me at least) scam alert:
          	
          	If you get tagged by a random new account (like a day at most), report and block them. According to other users, these new accounts post a link somewhere on their profile that are probably viruses or will lead you to giving up personal information in some way.
          	
          	I myself didn’t see these links, but that’s only because I saw other people being confused as to why they were being tagged + warnings of scam and immediately noped out of there.

@BloodiReaper12 ugh, that sucks. I’m sorry that happened to her. Hopefully, it all works out in the end

@onyxjay my friend got her account suspended because of these scams, I’m not sure if she got her account back, but she had a backup account.

how is your writing so damn funny? I'm an aspiring writer, and I immediately loved your story "harry, you're a badger." could you give me some tips on how to make my writing as funny as that?

onyxjay

Awww, thank you so much!
            
            Okay, (my attempt at) advice time:
            
            For that fic in particular, I abandon most logic (like 90% of the songs played weren’t even out yet). But sometimes, having some characters take things seriously can be hilarious. Snape having to work with Crackhead Parry Slurpy Hotter makes for many funny moments. Or, as a broader example, the dynamic between SpongeBob and Squidward is a lot of what made that series so popular.
            
            Also in You’re a Badger, Harry, I completely forwent being in character. I mean, sure, canon Harry has his sassy moments, but even he is not as chaotic as he is here.
            
            I’m sure there’s more I could say, but I think that’s a good start.

Hello! I absolutely adore "A Trio of Serpents." The friendship and the Slytherin vibes are masterfully done (and I love the sporadic reptile facts!). I’m reaching out because the previous Spanish translator has cancelled their project, and I would love to take over with your permission. I want to ensure the Spanish-speaking fandom gets to read this whole amazing journey. I would give you full credit and link back to this original work. Thank you for such a wonderful read!

onyxjay

Yes, of course! So sorry for the late response

For those that are reading my revised ALHS, I want to note something before we get to third year.
          
          My stance on Wolfstar has gone through many changes over the years. First I shipped it because it seemed everyone else was… now I don’t really ship it but don’t mind it.
          
          Right now, I’m still trying to decide whether Wolfstar is going to be a thing in that fix, but if it is, it’s gonna develop differently. I’m not really a fan of Marauders-era Wolfstar, I prefer them bonding after Prisoner of Azkaban since they’re the last of their group.
          
          
          
          I hope that gives you an idea of what might occur when we get to that point.

Quick questions for ALHS readers interested in the new version:
          
          The title is currently just “A Little Help from a Snake (revised),” but that still leaves room for confusion. So if anyone has any title ideas, please leave them down below.
          
          If it has the word Snake or Serpent, that would be nice, but it’s not required.
          
          
          
          The cover will be blue instead of green, so even if the titles get mixed up, you can at least differentiate them by color.

@onyxjay a lot of help from a serpent is a fun name, sounds like a parody song title

Something I’ve been working on alongside “A Badger’s Diary” is a new version of ALHS (A Little Help from a Snake). Like yes, there are revisions and edits made on the original fic itself, but I’m still not overall satisfied with it.
          
          Which is why, if you are interested at all, I will be posting it at some point.
          
          Something to keep in mind is that some parts may be the same or similar from the original ALHS, while others may be completely different. It will NOT be the exact same story, just the same premise.
          
          An AU of an AU if you will.
          
          
          
          The original ALHS will still be up; I’m not deleting that one. This will merely be a second version for myself.

@onyxjay omg yes! this was one of the first i ever read on my drarry1 or something like that account.

All right, next chapter of “A Badger’s Diary” will be up on Friday! See you then!

onyxjay

There’s a lot going on in my life right now (positive stuff, don’t worry), so for my A Badger’s Diary readers, I’m not going to be updating for the rest of October and likely at least the first week or so of November. Again, nothing bad’s going on, but it is taking up a lot of my time and energy.
          
          I’ll still be checking in on my notifs, though, so feel free to say hi!

@onyxjay Hi, Hope whatever is happening in your life you have a wonderful day/life

So normally when Harry befriends a Slytherin, it’s any one or multiple of the following: Draco, Blaise, Theo, Daphne, and Pansy.
          
          But what if - and hear me out here - he befriended Goyle and/or Crabbe?

RitaTodd6

@onyxjay I agree. Which i think would be easier with a true friend out of Slytherin. 
Ответить

onyxjay

@RitaTodd6 no worries, I should have explained what I meant. Basically, yes, we do kinda see them as one unit and not two individual people (who happen to be written as one unit by the original author anyway). So it would be interesting to see more stories where they actually act like separate characters

@onyxjay sorry I know you didn't I wasn't trying to say that. I was just saying my thoughts would be both of them as they are almost always together. Sorry.
